I assume there's a reason you're reading the input file by line
instead of just copying it using larger fixed-size blocks?
Perhaps you have in mind some kind of line-based filtering or
processing eventually?
Because for copying a file, using a large, fixed-size block
will work much faster. Not to mention the code will be simpler.
For example:
auto inputFile = File(inputFilename, "r");
auto outputFile = File(outputFilename, "w");
enum bufferSize = 8194;
inputFile.byChunk(bufferSize) // read input in blocks of 8194
bytes
.copy(outputFile.lockingBinaryWriter); // copy each block
into output file
T
When I compiled the code after adding yours, I found this error
message:
"untitled20.d:24:8: error: no property 'copy' for type 'ByChunk'
24 | .copy(outputFile.lockingBinaryWriter); // copy
each block into output file
